You made me a superstar

Chapter 241
Generally, it takes at least one to two months for a movie script to produce specific results.

It is a level-by-level review, and often after the unit passes the review, it will go to the upper level unit to continue a new round of review...

In this process, old people can jump in line, but newcomers can only wait.

And waiting is often the most tormenting.

Zheng Jun once wrote six consecutive scripts in a month, and each script was impeccable. After waiting for two months, all he finally got was the rectification opinion that "historical nothingness, filming is not recommended".

Zheng Jun was not confused, many of the movies that were shown were bigger than his scripts, and the so-called historical nihilism was even more deceitful, but they were able to be audited, but his script was criticized as useless...

Later, as he got older and failed many audits, Zheng Jun became more proficient at writing notebooks. In addition to realizing his own shortcomings, the way he wrote notebooks also began to change. He no longer made up the plot through "imaginary" stories, but Start to move closer to the mainstream.

"It... came down so soon?" Zheng Jun got the script submission for "Struggle".

After seeing the seal above, Zheng Jun couldn't believe it!
The script review process of "Struggle" is very fast.

On the first day, the two of them personally handed over the script to the relevant department, and the script was reviewed on the second day, without even any suggestions for rectification.

"Well, yes, other than that, this is a support policy for "Struggling", there are some tax reliefs, and besides that, there are some priority arrangements for film scheduling..."

After Zheng Jun watched Zhou Yang take out a large amount of support materials, he felt his eyes were blurred.

He stared blankly at this scene, swallowed his saliva, a little agitated, and looked at Zhou Yang eagerly: "Mr. Zhou, is this a privilege?"

"I used to think it was a privilege, but in fact..." Zhou Yang showed a bit of helplessness on his face: "This is basically the standard for a director of Zhao Sicheng's level. Of course, Jiang Ge's movie script review is faster..."

Zhou Yang, who used to be a layman, might be as shocked as Zheng Jun, feeling inexplicably honored.

But the more he came into contact with this industry, the more he understood some truths and met some people, the more complex feeling deep in Zhou Yang's heart became stronger. He is the person who lives the purest and most relaxed life.

The smile on Zheng Jun's face disappeared, and the excitement in his eyes gradually turned into a trace of complexity.

Some people are struggling at the bottom, desperately trying to climb up, every step is difficult, full of all kinds of despair and darkness.

And some people are born on it, enjoying the sunshine and rain, squandering their time recklessly.

After so many years at the bottom, what reality is he not clear about?

The experiences of these years came to his mind.

Sad, deplorable, and ridiculous.

He took a deep breath and stared at the script of "Struggle".

At this moment, all complicated emotions disappeared.

He felt extremely hot all over his body, like a warrior about to go to war.

"Mr. Zhou!"

"what happened?"

"I'm going to make preparations." Zheng Jun wanted to say something ambitious, but when he reached his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything, and finally choked out such a sentence.

"Okay! Let's go."

"Ah."

Zheng Jun turned and left.

After waiting for so long, it's time for him to come out!

....................................

February [-]th.

Feng Kai walked into Huaxing again.

When he came back again, his emotions were very complicated. He even stood at the door of the office for a long time, hesitating whether to go in.

He didn't know how to face Zhou Yang.

The former Xiao Zhou and Director Zhou, the fringe characters whom he looked down upon...

The little guy who used to stand by his side and was silent in meetings...

At this moment, he has become the boss of Huaxing, and has become the most controversial director in the entire Chinese director circle. Witnessing the rise of Zhou Yang with his own eyes, it is impossible for you to say that Feng Kai does not have a sense of gap in his heart.

He finally knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

After a calm voice sounded, Feng Kai pushed the door open.

"Jinyiwei" has officially finished.

The schedule is scheduled to be released next month, but next month is really not a good day.

Not only a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster called "Interstellar" was released, but also Zhou Yilin invested nearly 8000 million in the blockbuster "The Golden Armor", and Jiang Ge invested [-] million in the gorgeous combination movie "Mechanical Man". Movies are like wolves and tigers, staring at the movie circle in March with great ambitions.

As for his "Jinyiwei".

Although his movie was successfully filmed, he was in a very embarrassing situation!
The investment and publicity of this movie, the budget is only more than 1000 million, which is a low-cost movie!
Such a small-budget film is suitable for an unpopular schedule and a chance at the box office. It is really not suitable for release in March when demons and ghosts are rampant...

Otherwise, I don't know how to die!

"Director Feng, long time no see, Director Feng looks more energetic, sit down, sit down quickly."

After pushing open the door, Feng Kai saw Zhou Yang standing up with a smile on his face, and warmly beckoned him to sit down.

"Mr. Zhou, it's fine..." Feng Kai clearly felt that Zhou Yang had changed.

Yes, Zhou Yang has changed a lot from the last time we met.

The last time in the relevant departments, when the two of them publicly disrespected those directors in the conference room, although Zhou Yang was shocked, his words and deeds still vaguely resembled the appearance of a year ago.

But when they met again this time, he found that Zhou Yang had completely lost his original appearance.

He has been reborn.

He was smiling, but his smile was full of spring breeze, and every movement was filled with an indescribable aura...

Feng Kai actually felt restrained and inferior in front of him, obviously very close, but extremely far away, especially when Zhou Yang helped him pour tea, Feng Kai was flattered, he just sat down and immediately stood up again stand up.

A clock ticks every second on the wall.

The sun shines through the windows, shining warmly on people.

The two started to talk about the past, and Feng Kai found that Zhou Yang's voice was still very sincere, which made people feel a sense of intimacy, but he started to talk more and more.

They talked about the filming of "Mine Bottom" and about "The Crow"...

The previous scenes flashed before Feng Kai's eyes like a movie, and Feng Kai was deeply moved.

As we chatted, we naturally also talked about the topic of Feng Kai's visit today: "Director Zhou, the situation in March is not good for "Jinyiwei". I want to change the schedule. How do you think about it?"

Feng Kai told Zhou Yang about the movies released in March, and analyzed the predicted box office of each movie!

His attitude looks pessimistic.

Maybe it's because I really care too much about the movie "Jinyiwei", I care too much, but I don't want anything to go wrong with this movie.

Zhou Yang listened silently to Feng Kai's analysis.

It wasn't until Feng Kai couldn't say anything anymore that he nodded, but didn't speak. He just asked Feng Kai to show him the sample of "Jinyiwei".

The ticking of the clock on the wall in the office struck the hearts of both of them.

The "Jinyiwei" on the computer played the plot.

After more than two hours, "Jin Yiwei" on the computer came to an end.

After the broadcast, Zhou Yang returned the sample to Feng Kai, but did not speak.

Feng Kai felt that the atmosphere was getting weirder and more oppressive, especially Zhou Yang's incomprehensible eyes made Feng Kai inexplicably out of breath.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yang glanced out the window and sighed faintly: "Director Feng...what do you think is the most essential reason for the success of a movie?"

His voice was very complicated, as if he was asking Feng Kai, but also as if he was asking himself.

"Promotion, filming, popularity, follow-up word-of-mouth, and of course, the market..." Feng Kai answered many things.

After Zhou Yang was silent for a while, he continued to ask: "Director Feng, you have talked a lot, so what is the most important factor that affects a movie?"

"Market and word of mouth..." Feng Kai thought for a while, and finally replied.

"What determines the market and word of mouth?" Zhou Yang continued to ask like a curious baby.

"It's the quality of the movie itself." Feng Kai thought for a while.

"Director Feng, don't you have confidence in the movie "Jinyiwei"?"

"There is confidence, but..." Feng Kai suddenly found himself unable to speak.

He found himself terrified...

He is too eager to succeed, and this desire for success makes him unable to bear the consequences of failure.

"Do you think your "Jinyiwei" is not as good as Django's "Mechanical Man"?"

"..." Feng Kai remained silent.

Naturally, I didn't want to admit it in my heart, but I don't know why, when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say anything.

"Feng Kai, how high-spirited you were in the past, why have you become like this now?"

Feng Kai glanced at Zhou Yang, his eyes full of helplessness, and then smiled: "Director Zhou, a high-spirited person has been suppressed so many times, it's not bad if his mentality doesn't collapse..."

During this year.

Not only Zhou Yang has changed, Feng Kai has also changed.

Those who used to have no self-confidence have become extremely confident, and those who were once confident have become restless, fearful, and sensitive, and their hearts have long been wiped out by reality.

"What if we win?" Zhou Yang said these words suddenly.

His expression was very strange, but his eyes were very serious, and even exuded a trace of fiery energy.

When he heard these words, Feng Kai suddenly felt familiar...

His heart trembled slightly.

Time seemed to go back to when the two were filming "Mine Bottom" a year ago.

That day, on the mountain, the young man who seemed to have low self-esteem but was stubborn to the bone suddenly said such a sentence when facing his own cynicism.

"What if "Mine Bottom" is nominated for Berlin?"

That day, when he heard this sentence, he couldn't believe it...

He couldn't help himself.

Not only him, but even the entire crew of "Mine Bottom" laughed loudly...

Laughing at his ignorance, laughing at his ignorance...

however!
That day!
When "Mine Bottom" received an invitation from the Berlin International Film Festival...

The moment he stepped onto the stage of the Berlin International Film Festival, won the trophy, and raised the trophy under the eyes of everyone!

Those who laughed at him realized in a trance that they were the biggest joke.

That day!
When Zhou Yang was not optimistic about him, he wrote a page that can be called a legend...

""The Bottom of the Mine" has come through so hard, what are we afraid of?"

"The reason why the movie "Mine Bottom" won the award is 80.00% of the credit, and it's all because of you, Director Feng!"

"It was you who should have stood on the stage of the Berlin International Film Festival and won the trophy, not me!"

There was a fire in Zhou Yang's eyes.

This fire burned Feng Kai!

this moment!
For some reason, Feng Kai only felt a surge of passion.

Holding the "Jinyiwei" materials, his hands couldn't help shaking!
"Meet the brave to win on the narrow road!"

"Even if we lose, we have to stand up and lose!"

"What are you afraid of? We have nothing to fear!"

"and!"

"What if we win?"

"Director Feng!"

"Smash them!"

Feng Kai clenched his fists.

He stared at Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang at this moment is really strange.

These words are not like what Zhou Yang can say at all.

but……

He didn't know why, but he felt that the voice was full of demagogic power!
He gasped.

Subconsciously nodded.
